When truth speaks to power.

The truth is Western nations had the power to stop Israel's genocide. Instead, Western leaders colluded to ensure it continued.

We're all responsible for the genocide in Gaza.

[Drop Site @DropSiteNews]

🗣️“We can blame the Israelis for committing genocide in Gaza all we want. But the fact of the matter is, we committed genocide in Gaza.”

– Dr. @FerozeSidhwa, an America trauma surgeon who volunteered multiple times in Gaza over the post two years, told the California Democratic Convention Progressive Caucus on Saturday.

He told the audience that what he witnessed in Gaza felt like a “prelude to the end of humanity,” and what we’re now experiencing in the United States is a “small fraction of what can happen when the end of humanity comes home.”

“Acknowledging what we have done in Gaza and facing the truth will not be easy,” Dr Sidhwa stated.

“Facing the truth will reveal that some of the people you thought had normal human values are actually monsters. Good. That’s exactly the point. Let’s figure out who wants to make the world a better place, and then let’s go do it.”

Won’t regulate AI and sides with the Epstein billionaire class as opposed to the people in CA struggling with the skyrocketing costs of health care. The billionaire tax is going to his desk and he is planning to veto it. Same as he did with AI regs and the AI safety kill switch, same with PFAS “forever chemical” cookware. Anything for the corporate class. We are over this. We want people that are willing to take up the fight. Fighters not folders. Learn from Mamdani, Gavin.

It took me a couple of days to read the latest @UN Commission of Inquiry's report on how Israel is deliberately targeting Palestinian children. I had to stop, again and again, just to breathe. The level of devastation, the detail, the evidence, it is overwhelming.

The findings are devastating and unequivocal: Israeli authorities and security forces have deliberately targeted Palestinian children, resulting in genocide, crimes against humanity and war crimes in #Gaza, and war crimes in the occupied West Bank.

At @Amnesty, we documented the genocide in Gaza in our report published in December 2024, and more recently detailed evidence of ethnic cleansing in the West Bank. We know the patterns. We have exposed the atrocities. Yet reading this report still shakes you to the core. It goes deeper into the intent, into the systematic nature of the violence, into the unbearable reality that children themselves are being targeted.

This is not collateral damage. This is not incidental. This is deliberate. Children, killed, maimed, traumatized, deprived not only of safety, but of any possibility of a future. Entire generations being erased in plain sight.

How much more evidence does the world need? How many more reports must confirm what is already undeniable?

Governments cannot continue to look away. Silence and inaction, in this moment, are complicity.

This must end. Israel must be held fully accountable.

Why did our ruling class not invest in decarbonising faster to avoid this acceleration in deadly heatwaves that scientists warned would come? Because of the capitalist law of value.

Capital invests in what is most profitable to capital, rather than what is most necessary for humanity, so our ruling class keeps ploughing investment into fossil fuels and SUVs, while we get far too little in renewables and public transit, even while the world burns around us.

We have more than enough capacity (labour, factories, technology) to address the climate crisis, but as long as capital controls investment and production we are prevented from doing it.

We are trapped by the capitalist law of value, living in a miserable shadow of the world we could have.

Lebanese MP and international law professor Halima el Kaakour to Lebanese President Joseph Aoun and Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam:

"How can you approve the clause stating that the parties must ‘refrain from taking any hostile or adversarial measures in international political or legal forums?’ Does that mean giving up the right to pursue legal action over war crimes and crimes against humanity? You are denying justice to the thousands of victims of war crimes, while in the very same text speaking of ‘peace?’! Don't you realize that there can be no peace without justice?"

[Noura Erakat @4noura]

Leaked documents re the sham “Board of Peace” show it granting sweeping immunity to itself & the right to seize public property. A group of private indivuduals are looting Palestinians in broad daylight. #Genocide should be punished, not profitable #Gaza

🚨 BREAKING: A 19 year old in Gaza, Siraj Hassan Musa, loses what remains of his family in a series of tragedies spanning years of war.

Today, he bids farewell to his sister Islam (14) and his brother Abdullah (29) after an Israeli strike on tents for displaced families in Khan Younis Southern Gaza Strip, while another sister Lana remains in critical care.

Peter, this isn’t abundance—it’s the Panopticon with better marketing. ‘No hiding’ means no freedom, no creativity, no private thought. Orwell warned us about smiling futurists cheering on the telescreens. Humans don’t thrive when watched; we shrink. Hard pass on your dystopia.
And … fuck you Royally.

🚨Israeli occupation forces raided areas of Gaza City, Khan Younis and Jabalia tonight..
They moved the Yellow Line forward, squeezing 2.4 million Gazans into a more narrow strip.
In clear violation of the ceasefire, last week, Netanyahu’s aided declared the Israeli occupation forces would expand their occupation up to 70% of Gaza’s area..

[Trita Parsi @tparsi]

After the US struck Iran (after Iran struck a ship in the Strait), Iranian media reports that the IRGC has struck US positions. Details are not available.

As bad as this is, an even greater threat to the MOU is the Israel-Lebanon agreement signed by the Lebanese government, which has caused riots in Beirut amid accusations that the Lebanese government has sold out the country and acquiesced to Israel occupying parts of southern Lebanon.

Netanyahu must be mighty happy.

Two days ago, my sister was waiting for her only daughter, her little girl, her beloved Raghad an orphan whose father had previously been killed by Israel to return home. But she never came back. Israel fired four missiles at her and killed her

What hurts me the most is that Israeli soldiers kill our children, then go home to embrace their own children, while our mothers and fathers are left embracing the lifeless bodies of their children or waiting for loved ones who will never return

[Quds News Network @QudsNen]

A Spanish prosecutor in Barcelona has opened preliminary proceedings against journalist Pilar Rahola over incitement to hatred and complicity in Gaza genocide linked to her statements on the Gaza war, according to Euronews.

The case was initiated by two activists who accuse her of contributing to the denial of genocide and spreading harmful narratives, citing her public comments and writings about Israel’s attacks in Gaza.

[BreakThrough News @BTnewsroom]

“The Israeli Defense Forces are intentionally targeting children in Gaza.”

Chris Sidoti of the UN’s Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory stressed the eyewitness testimony of medical experts on the ground and the evidence of nearly 22,000 identified children’s bodies in backing this conclusion of the commission’s latest report – its seventeenth in five years.

At a virtual briefing on Friday early childhood advocate and YouTube creator Ms. Rachel urged governments to prioritize protecting children in conflict and called for unrestricted humanitarian aid to Gaza, where around 30% of those killed in the first two years since October 7, 2023 have been children.

Urgent ‼️‼️
A dangerous Israeli plan for the ethnic cleansing of the Gaza Strip to be carried out by the Mossad… Israel has made the decision

Israel’s Channel 14 has revealed that a decision has been made to implement a plan to displace Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, led by Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency under the leadership of Major General Roman Gofman.

The Israeli channel reported that, under the direction of Israel’s National Security Council head Shmuel Ben Ezra, the country’s top political leadership held an urgent meeting in recent days with representatives of the security establishment to discuss issues related to migration from the Gaza Strip.

According to the report, the meeting concluded with a decision to place the Mossad in charge of implementing the plan, and a dedicated budget was approved to support the initiative.

The channel added that political sources familiar with the details said that the recent memorandum of understanding signed between the United States and Iran has opened an important window for reaching a comprehensive regional agreement that would also include the issue of migration from Gaza.
